Well, its been a while. With the lockout in full effect and the possibility of missing baseball games now a near guarantee due to the owner-imposed deadline set for Monday, we finally get back to the podcast to check in on how we ended up here. Keaton and I spend the first half of the show discussing what has gone awry with the negotiations between the MLBPA and MLB. We touch on many questions including:
- Who’s to blame?
- Some history as to why this particular negotiation is so difficult.
- Why aren’t they looking harder at fixing some of baseball’s underlying pace of play and entertainment issues?
